A team of engineers at Fudan University has successfully designed, built and run a 32-bit RISC-V microprocessor that uses molybdenum disulfide instead of silicon as its semiconductor component.

It can only add single bits at a time and is limited to kilohertz clock speeds, but it is capable of executing the full RISC-V 32-bit instruction set thanks to nearly 6,000 individual transistors.

Nanotechnology involves manipulating matter on an atomic or molecular scale, typically between 1 and 100 nanometers. This ...

A RIKEN study shows that squeezing the right amount of potassium ions between the atomic layers of molybdenum disulfide can turn it from a semiconductor into a metal, superconductor or insulator.

Molybdenum disulfide has recently attracted attention as a low-power semiconductor material that increases the integration density of semiconductor chips and minimizes leakage current, thereby ...

An international research group has developed a PV panel based on a cell technology featuring graphene-doped electron transporting layers (ETLs) and functionalized molybdenum disulfide (fMoS 2 ...

To address this issue, the team proposed using a two-dimensional molybdenum disulfide (MoS2) nanosheet, as demonstrated in previous literature, to accelerate the redox reaction. However ...

Squeezing the right amount of potassium ions between the atomic layers of molybdenum disulfide can turn it from a semiconductor into a metal, superconductor or insulator. “The variety of electronic ...
